Who set up this deck?

[Hollywade]

Wow. I don't even know where to start. How the hell does this hand ever happen like this? What the hell are people thinking? I don't intend for those to be purely rhetorical questions so if you have an idea, by all means...

I have never simply called in the small blind with AA after one person has already limped in the pot. I would never even consider doing so in a 9-handed game. To make that play, don't you have to be absolutely certain that the big blind is going to raise? It's almost as if he knew the big blind had KK. Hahaha. Of course the more likely possibility is that the small blind is just a moron.

Then of course, the aces end up in third place. Funny game.
